ZOA Energy will distribute $3 million to settle a class action lawsuit alleging misleading labeling regarding preservatives.Summary
ZOA Energy has reached a $3 million settlement in a class action lawsuit centered on claims that its labeling was deceptive. Plaintiffs alleged that the energy drink’s “0 preservatives” claim was misleading, as the drinks contain citric acid and ascorbic acid, both commonly used as preservatives. While these ingredients—ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and citric acid—are considered safe for consumption, the lawsuit argued they function as preservatives, contradicting the product’s labeling. The settlement will provide funds to consumers who purchased ZOA Energy drinks, co-founded by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, believing they were preservative-free. The brand offers flavors like Tropical Punch, Frosted Grape, and Mango Splash.
